The only reason that I've found to hate Pewdiepie is his bro army hoard. The guy himself seems alright.

[I]that's how you guys should react to pewdiepie, too, instead of having this huge shit fit anytime he does anything.[/I][/QUOTE] The big problems that everyone has with him are his swarming army of fans, his badly-made humor and his popularity which overshadows more dedicated, effort-intensive or otherwise "good" channels. His fans tend to attack everyone who even remotely shows signs of not also being a rabid fan, they tend to be younger children (which are usually obnoxious), and his efforts to control them have been lackluster at best (even if that is a gargantuan task for one man). If he wanted to, he could easily force a sizable portion of these fans into knocking their annoying shit off, maybe by taking a hiatus for a week or month until they learn some respect for others since they're so rabidly attached to him. He seems to forget that he's the closest thing a lot of these kids have to a mortal god, and that he could pretty much tell them to murder their parents in cold blood, and they'd do so with no hesitation. As for his popularity, a lot of people feel that he puts little to no effort into making his videos, which makes them hate him for overshadowing smaller channels that try much harder for less views. They also consider his jokes to be lackluster, since he always seems to resort to the same pattern or rehash of "unfunny normal joke > horribly unfunny rape joke > screech at not even remotely scary thing > repeat until rich". Again, this results in comparisons to funnier and harder-trying channels which languish in obscurity as a negative side-effect of his popularity. Basically, if he actually put noticeable effort into his work and comedy to improve them and keep them fresh, and at least tried to rein in his fans a bit, most people would probably love him. People hate him as it is because they see him as the face of (Youtube-based) comedy's grim reaper, and as the apathetic overlord of a mouth-foaming legion of idiots.

Not much, but "look at me, I'm a disorganized clutz who acts like he actually is organized" is at least some attempt at actual humor, rather than screeching at mildly scary things and rape jokes.

So what's your point here? His fans like trying to prove they are mad successful pussy magnets and not small children who enjoy awful humour and rape jokes? Because comments aren't evidence.

I can't believe someone with so many views wants to put out absolutely stupid fucking shit for people to see. With such a big audience, so many young people that you are influencing, why the hell would you show them how to act like a dumbass, be racist, and scream rape and other shit. You could be teaching the easily impressionable bunch of kids that are watching much better things.
[QUOTE=Derp Y. Mail;42207652]Oh goodness gracious why does he edit in Premiere Pro[/QUOTE] Because it's a popular video editing program?

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, and money is worse than both.
"Bro" isn't a very original or creative name for a fanbase, but then again people shouldn't need an identity for themselves because they watch a show.

why you guys irritate so much about the most known gaming youtuber being mediocre and dumb? its almost always that way wih everything in media. Mediocre movies make lots of cash, mediocre music artist make a lot of money as well. The most known and famous latinamerican youtuber "HolaSoyGerman" is soo mediocre and simple you wouldnt believe hes average videos get like 10 million views. we like to criticize them for being bad and stupid but who cares anyway? they know people in general prefer stupid shit and buy that shit. Now, an entirely different thing is when their fan base acts or opens their mouth, by definition, they being fans is enough to not listen to their opinions or even care about them in any sense, but i can see why you would get angry when they stick their noses in everything and as they are so fucking many if feels like we are surrounded by no brainers. Just try to ignore them as much as possible, its hard, but fighting is not the real solution to it.
[QUOTE=Laferio;42207789][img]http://puu.sh/4ssdy.png[/img][/QUOTE] All of the comments are either completely broken or are people waxing their mighty e-penis with their "Straight A honour student gorilla warfare navy seals" bullshit. They are honestly on proving the point the article made further; his fanbase is atrociously dumb.

[QUOTE=dr gero;42202837]Honestly, I think PewDiePie is a fucking genius. Somehow someway he manages to stay relevant and fresh in the Youtube community and markets his content so well that he makes money. He lives by doing this and nothing else, he doesn't work at all. Sure, the people who watch his videos and love him will never realize that he is practically using his fanbase to live but that's what makes him smarter than the average LP'er. Keep in mind this is only my opinion. (Source: [url]http://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/celebrity/the-25-highest-earning-youtube-stars/;[/url] [url]http://youtube.wikia.com/wiki/PewDiePie[/url])[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say he doesn't do any work. ALTHOUGH, I don't know if he has monkeys doing the hard work for him like making thumbnails, video editing, maintaining social media and etc etc. If he does (which I am not surprised since he probably makes a few million dollars a year), then he probably indeed does nothing. lol.
[QUOTE=Eric95;42205523]While I'm not a fan of PewDiePie's content people who say he doesn't work or doesn't put much effort into anything are just wrong. Managing and making content for a channel as huge as his takes tons of work, even if it might not look like it[/QUOTE] It's not that he doesn't put effort in his content, it's that said effort is misguided and ultimately produces shitty content that's 100% based on rape jokes, shrieking and singing random songs in the middle of LPs. As far as I know pewdiepie does anything alone on his channel but most of his content is generally pretty crap anyway, because he has no reason to actually make good content since his fanbase just absorb everything he makes, including 10 minutes of shrieking.
how in the fuck can pewdiepie be therapeutic? i mean, lets be honest here, if you're depressed, looking at a bunch of youtube videos of a shrieking idiot playing horror games is not gonna make you feel better. depression is not about "i can't laugh", that's boredom, depression is about not being able to hold to any happiness in your life without it evanescing away. this guy found literally the cheapest way to get youtube views and a couple of laughs by the mainstream audience while exerting the least possible effort, and rode that all the way to the bank. he IS in many ways cultural poison, although it isn't fair to call him the only one of this generation. your fucking grades don't matter if you consider this ephemeral shit to be part of your upbringing and part of what identifies you as a person, that's just flat out fucking stupid. you can like youtube videos all you want, you can like ponies all you want, you can like any product all you want but if it starts to become what defines you then you should do some introspection before becoming just another product yourself, maybe? i'll take fucking yuppies over this irrational internet fandom shit. there's one particular argument that the fandoms fucking do that I absolutely fucking despite, which is "HAY HE JUST MADE SOME VIDEOS AND MADE A BILLION VIEWS WHY DON'T YOU DO BETTER". Why don't [I]you[/I] do better? is trying to achieve a little bit of transcendence in your life just not fucking hip anymore?

I'm so happy I've never met one of these bro team faggots irl
I think all in all it's just the toilet humor but in a unique very easy to hate way. Mainly because it's just a bunch of fucking kids who laugh at anything he tries to make sound funny. I used to laugh at stupid random shit all the time when I was younger, who's to say I might of found him funnier if I was more my sisters age now. Wonder if pewdiepie stays the same, forever. Like in 40 years time he's still there freaking out about new games like a 13 year old or if he one day just makes a video like "I'm going to go out into the big world, stick my dick in my women and make her a mummy"
Holy shit the filters are hilarious.

Don't know if he's still with her as I avoid him like the WBC avoids common decency, but I'm guessing yes, if she was air-headed or just plain apathetic enough to even give him a shot. Might help that he's supposedly rich as fuck. Allow the nightmares of shrieking demon hellspawn that speak in nothing but rape jokes being delivered unto us ungrateful mortals to commence.

Rape jokes, stupidity, shrieking and all that shit might as well be little more than part of the game, but not his actual character. For all we know, he might be a decent person IRL, a good friend and lover. I view obnoxious youtubers as clowns. They do stupid shit on public to entertain people and make some money out of it, while their actual selves can be no where near like that. That said though, this doesn't make Pewdiepie (as a media phenomenon) any less of a cultural cancer.
